Alice Faucheux, an office manager with the Catholic Diocese of Baton Rouge, was arrested Tuesday after she allegedly used the church's credit card to buy prepaid debit cards over a span of three years, Baton Rouge Police Cpl. Don Coppola Jr. said Tuesday evening.

Faucheux, 57, of Ethel, was booked on charges of felony theft and unauthorized use of an access device card.

Coppola says the Catholic Diocese of Baton Rouge conducted an audit and found that Faucheux had used an Office Depot corporate credit card from the Catholic Diocese to purchase several Visa vanilla prepaid debit cards worth $41,000.

The audit revealed that unauthorized transactions began in 2011 and ended in June 2014.

Faucheux bought the prepaid debit cards at Office Depot locations on College Drive and Florida Boulevard in Baton Rouge, and Main Street in Zachary. She also used the debit cards to pay various bills along with other items, Coppola said.
